I managed to get a brew in today - a nice pale & hoppy brew, missed my OG by 4 points ... so not happy with that but hey - hopefully it will be a good one.
60L Batch
Target OG 1.052
Target IBU 39-40
Mash 2.5L/kg 67c 90 mins
Boil 90 mins
87% Pale Malt (Maris Otter)
10% Wheat Malt
3% Cara-Pils
Pearle 90 mins to ~13 IBU
Cascade 90 mins to ~13 IBU
Pearle 15 mins to ~7 IBU
Cascade 15 mins to ~7 IBU
60g Cascade added to the boiler during cooling and steeped at 70c for 30 mins
I deliberately lowered my efficiency today to see if there is a difference - effectively it meant that I stopped sparging at 1.040.
We will see...
I got 3 x FV's with 20 L in each - 2 have s04 one has us-05
Some pics:
HLT plastic 60L 2x 2.4kw elements camping mat insulation:
Tun - 66L coolbox with copper manifold & ball valve tap
14.1kg Grain just waiting to hand over the goodies
Mash On
Tun Wrapped up on sleeping bag
End of the mash
Jasper getting used to being an assistant brewer
Recirculating the first few litres
Sparging (spinny sparger fitted under tun lid)
First collections of wort
more to follow...
